Your shoes may be the last thing you put on before you leave the house, but often, they are the first thing others notice when you walk into a room. That is why you should always think about putting your best foot forward. Shoes are vital to any outfit and have a longer lifespan than clothing. This is why I want to share with you the one shoe trend you will get miles of wear from (pun intended). Read on to learn How to wear the Metallic Shoe Trend this Summer.
A pair of metallic sandals should be your new neutral shoe for spring and summer style. Wearing subtle shimmer can provide a feeling of classy yet innovative style that can be worn both daytime and nighttime. They go with everything!
When wearing metallic sandals, I like to add a pop of color as I think it really brightens the look of the shoe.

The Metallic Summer Shoe Trends of Summer 2023
Metallics no longer scream disco as they may have back in the seventies. Today, a subtle shimmer adds a touch of luxury, instantly elevating your style day and night. The trends we are seeing right now include:
- Lace-ups
- Platforms
- Slides/flatforms
- Sneakers
Metallic Shoe Trends I’ve tried and love
Lace-ups sandals are making a comeback this season. I like to tie them both low around my ankle or up high gladiator style. Of course, I remember wearing the platforms in the 70s; the styles they are showing now are exactly what I used to wear back then.
I recently purchased these Dolce Vita lace-up Nena sandals with a wicker-looking block heel. I had been eyeing them at a major outlet store but didn’t want to spend the money; then, I saw that they were available on Amazon for $30 less. They offer everything I’m looking for in summer shoes, comfort and style, and the metallic color provides versatility. Of course, saving money means I can look for another pair of summer sandals, right?

I want to try platforms again, but I’m slightly nervous about tripping. Although I guess that I will own a pair of platforms before summer officially starts. These platforms are on my radar.
Flatform slides have a relaxed and cool vibe. The chunkiness has a bit of attitude. You can always relay on slides as comfortable shoes for everyday wear.
Recently, I had a live shopping event with The Mile. If you weren’t able to join you can view it here. I shared my new M. Gemi Metallic Slides. These are another pair of metallic slides I’ll be wearing all summer. I like to think of metallic slides as the ultimate neutral shoe as it pairs well with everything from shorts to dresses.
And lastly, don’t think that sneakers are for activewear only. This ever-popular shoe is worn by all ages with dresses and skirts because women have found that you can’t beat the comfort. The new styles with shiny embellishments really catch my attention.
Have fun shopping!
